Individually, each of these conditions disrupt the natural system that is the source of your water, but combined they result in challenges to your water supply that even the best local conservation practices cannot resolve.

As you deal with policy and funding decisions, keep in mind that investing in your watershed is critically important. For the last 10 years, the Sierra Nevada Conservancy and our partners have been working hard to protect your water supply, but there is still so much to do.

The interactive map below will take you on a journey from your tap to the mountains that are the source of your water, and will introduce you to the major challenges that need to be addressed today if you are to continue to rely on this water in the future.
